Even an experienced housewife may encounter such a problem as marks on the fabric after ironing. Do not rush to be upset - things can still be saved!
The iron can cause two troubles - these are the so-called lases, shiny areas on the fabric, and tan marks. In both cases, the fault is the wrong choice of temperature. We will talk about what needs to be done to remove traces of the iron on various types of fabric today.
Natural fabrics

What kind of fabric is cotton: properties, care, sewing recommendations
Method 1
In half a glass of water, mix 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of 10% ammonia. Moisten gauze or a cotton pad thoroughly in the solution and gently wipe the stains. Wait a couple of minutes, then rinse the product in cold water.
Method 2
This option is perfect for black natural fabrics. Dilute table vinegar in water (1: 4), soak gauze in the solution and iron the product through it in the steaming mode. Then let the product cool completely and dry, if the stain does not disappear, repeat the procedure.
Method 3
Generously soak a cotton swab in a solution of boric acid and treat the damaged area with it.After the stain disappears, wash the item. The method is suitable for light fabrics.
Method 4
This method also works well for light fabrics. Mix fresh lemon juice (half the fruit is enough) with fine salt until pasty and apply the mixture to the damaged area. Rinse the product thoroughly after processing.
Method 5
Another interesting option for light materials. Apply yogurt or plain yogurt to the stain without additives and dyes, leave overnight, and then wash.
Method 6
Suitable for dark fabrics: prepare a saturated soapy solution from alkaline laundry soap, soak gauze in it and squeeze. Without pressing, run the product through cheesecloth and leave to dry.

Method 1
Mix the soda with water until gruel and apply a thin layer on the damaged area. Wait for it to dry completely, then carefully remove the soda with a soft sponge.

Method 1
Combine hydrogen peroxide and ammonia (5: 1) and apply the mixture on the tan. Leave to dry completely, then rinse in cool water.
